But there is a traitor in their midst who must stop them or lose everything.<br /> <br /> Based on the author's grandfather, who was a book smuggler, the novel deftly captures the politics and dangers of the times while bringing to life an engaging and quirky family, with an element of the supernatural.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />  </p>
